Giving Societies

Samuel B. Duryea Society

The Samuel B. Duryea Society recognizes individuals who have named the NYU Tandon School of Engineering or Polytechnic as a beneficiary in their wills, trusts, retirement accounts, and life insurance policies. It was created in the spring of 1990, and was named after Samuel Bowne Duryea (1845–1892), a former Poly student who was the first to make a bequest to the Institute in 1885. Samuel was a resident of Brooklyn, NY and was the son of General Harmanus B. Duryea. Mr. Duryea’s fortune at the time of his death was valued at over $5,000,000 – most of which was left to Poly.

Young Alumni Leadership Circle

Since its founding, the Young Alumni Leadership Circle (YALC) has grown from 30 to 500 members, with Polytechnic alumni becoming increasingly involved since the affiliation with NYU.

The Circle’s mission is:

To recognize graduates from the last 15 years who make annual gifts that set the standard for other young alumni

To create an opportunity for young alumni from the NYU-Poly and entire NYU community to network, socialize and build relationships with other leaders

To develop NYU-Poly’s and NYU’s future leaders

Graduates from the last 0–5 years......Gifts of $500 and above

Graduates from the last 6–10 years......Gifts of $1,000 and above

Graduates from the last 11–15 years......Gifts of $2,500 and above

As a member of YALC, you are afforded exclusive access to your alma mater. By giving back to the School of Engineering, you will receive invitations to special NYU events that will bring you face-to-face with prominent leaders from the University and businesses, as well as leading policy influencers and public servants.
